TreC_ FSE: the Citizen's medical health record (EHR) of Province of Trento (Trentino Region). Interview with Marco Frassoni, IT Officer

TreC (from the Italian acronym three “C” which stands for “Cartella Clinica del Cittadino”, i.e. citizen’s medical record) is the digital health ecosystem implemented in the Autonomous Province of Trento (PAT) since 2010. TreC is accessible via webportal and represents for the citizens a single point of access to all the services provided by the provincial healthcare system. Furthermore, it enables citizens to access, supplement, manage and share their health and wellbeing information.
Thanks to a co-creation process which involved about 30.000 people in Trentino through focus groups, surveys and online interviews, it emerged the need for a mobile version of TreC, since almost every citizen has a smartphone, but not a PC, especially among the elderly who represent the main users of the health service.
This evidence laid the foundations to TreC_FSE (where the Italian acronym “FSE” corresponds to the Anglo-Saxon EHR).
The decision to implement TreC_FSE was taken in 2017. The development of the app was carried on thanks to a system approach coordinated by TrentinoSalute4.0, the competence centre for digital health formally established in 2016 which involves PAT in the role of decision maker, the Provincial Healthcare Trust (APSS) in the role of provider of services and the Bruno Kessler Foundation (FBK) as research institute. The official launch of TreC_FSE took place in April 2018, during the 2nd edition of Trento Smart City Week, an annual informational event aimed to promote the knowledge of and the advantages brought by the digital services available in Trentino Region.
